The ONS counts several built-up areas wholly inside Charnwood besides Loughborough, including Shepshed at 14,870, Birstall at 14,315, Syston at 13,620 and Mountsorrel at 12,885.

The Loughborough project ## Counting high flows on the Soar The data is fixed; the count depends on the rule you choose. The learner downloads 12,419 daily mean flows for Pillings Lock from the Environment Agency, covering the water years from October 1991 to September 2025, with no missing days. The line is the National River Flow Archive's Q10 figure of 21.8 cubic metres per second. Python marks each day as above or below the line. 1,268 days are above it, 10.2 per cent, just as a Q10 should give. The first trap is to call those 1,268 days "high-flow episodes". They are days, and most of them belong to the same few spells. | Rule for separating episodes | Episodes | Per year | What changed | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Every separate run above 21.8 | 334 | 9.8 | Includes 73 one-day blips | | Merge runs less than 3 days apart | 264 | 7.8 | Short dips no longer split a spell | | Merge runs less than 7 days apart | 190 | 5.6 | Spells a week apart stay separate | | Merge runs less than 14 days apart | 139 | 4.1 | Wet fortnights become one spell | | Merge runs less than 30 days apart | 88 | 2.6 | Close to a season count | The second step is declustering. Rivers wobble around a line: a day just above, one just below, then above again. Treating each wobble as a new episode inflates the count, so the program merges runs that are closer together than a chosen gap. The answer moves from 334 all the way down to 88. None of these is wrong; each answers a slightly different question. The learner has to state the rule beside the number, every time. The same idea, under the name debouncing, lives in every keyboard and game controller. A physical button bounces for a few milliseconds when pressed, and without a debounce rule one press registers as several. The learner writes one function, count_episodes(flows, line, gap), and tests it on a made-up series where the correct answer is known, then on a button trace. Finally they note the limits: 808 of the days are flagged suspect and 352 estimated by the Agency, and the archive warns that reservoirs and water recycling works change the river's flow substantially. ### Ages 8 to 11 Colour a paper strip of daily numbers above or below a line and count the coloured blocks. ### Ages 11 to 15 Write count_episodes() in Python and try gaps of 1, 7 and 30 days. ### Ages 15 and up Plot episodes per year for each rule and debounce a noisy button signal. ### Agency data, our counting The daily flows come from the Environment Agency hydrology service and the Q10 figure and gauge notes from the National River Flow Archive. The runs, rules and counts are ours. Why Pillings Lock ## A gauge in the Soar Navigation What the National River Flow Archive records about station 28093. | Detail | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Station | 28093, Soar at Pillings Lock | | Catchment area | 1,108.36 square kilometres | | Gauge | A 12-path ultrasonic gauge in the Soar Navigation, 100 m upstream of the lock | | Mean flow | 9.884 cubic metres per second | | Q10 flow | 21.8 cubic metres per second, exceeded on one day in ten | | Flow regime | Very substantial modification from water recycling works and Charnwood Forest reservoirs | Defining an event is one of the quiet decisions behind a lot of software. Fraud systems decide when several card payments count as one burst, fitness apps decide when a pause ends a run, and web analytics decide when a visit becomes a new session. Change the gap and the headline number changes. A Loughborough learner who has counted the Soar three ways will always ask how an event was defined. Modern Age Coders has no link with the Environment Agency, the National River Flow Archive or the ONS. The data is theirs; the counting, and any mistake in it, is ours. Stages ## From paper strips to real data pipelines School years are approximate; the free trial sets the level. Years 1 to 4 ### Games and counting Block coding with counters, events and simple rules. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Years 5 to 8 ### Python and lists Typed Python working through lists of numbers. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)Years 9 to 13 ### Data and AI Real datasets and AI beside GCSE and A level. [Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[High School Mathematics](/courses/complete-high-school-mathematics-mastery)Adults ### Data skills Python and data analysis for adult learners. [Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)AI and definitions ## Will an AI tell you how it counted? A count without its rule is only half an answer. Ask a chatbot how many high-flow events a river had and it may return one confident figure. Whether it counted days, runs or merged spells is usually left unsaid. A Loughborough learner who has written count_episodes() asks for the rule first, and knows the answer can move by a factor of almost four. Asking how things were counted is a good reason for Loughborough teenagers to keep learning to code in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Practical details ## Shepshed to Syston, one live class Any home in Charnwood joins by video. ### Code by the learner Learners write every line; the tutor watches the screen share and guides with questions. ### Matched to school year From Year 2 to Year 13, each learner starts at the point their year and trial suggest, using their exam board. ### Trial lesson free A full first lesson without charge, and a frank recommendation. ### Classes at one level Groups of five to ten learners at the same stage, from across the UK. ### Two a week Two lessons weekly in term, and none in the holidays. ### Unmoved by clock changes Our teachers shift when UK clocks go forward or back, so your slot does not. The reason for online groups Five Loughborough learners at one level who share a free hour seldom live on one street. Online groups fix that. Fees ## Loughborough fees Loughborough families pay the same as families in any country outside India. First class**USD 0** A full lesson free of charge, with a clear course suggestion. Group tuition**USD 100** Around eight live group lessons each month. Private tuition**USD 150** Around eight live one-to-one lessons each month. We charge in US dollars, not sterling. There is no bill until the trial has fixed a course and a weekly slot; the pricing page covers holidays, missed lessons and changing format.

Submitted details are used for placement and follow-up. FAQ ## Loughborough questions The borough, the river project and lesson basics. ### How many people live in Loughborough? The ONS counted 64,860 in the Loughborough built-up area in 2021; the wider Charnwood borough had 183,968. ### Can Loughborough learners take coding and AI classes online? Yes. Learners aged 6 to 67 in Loughborough and across Charnwood join live online coding, AI, Python and maths classes. ### What is the River Soar project? Learners use Environment Agency daily flows from Pillings Lock to show how the number of high-flow episodes depends on the rule used to separate them. ### What is declustering? Merging threshold crossings that are close together, so one long spell is not counted as many separate events. ### What is debouncing? The same idea in electronics and software: ignoring the rapid bounces of a button so one press counts once. ### Are lessons in person? No, they are online, so Loughborough, Shepshed, Syston and Birstall are all covered. ### Do you cover GCSE and A level? Yes, maths and computing, aiming at understanding rather than promised grades. ### What ages do you teach? Everyone from 6 to 67, students and adults included. ### What are the prices? The first lesson is free; then USD 100 a month for groups or USD 150 a month one-to-one. ### Do you teach in the school holidays? No. Tell us the dates and we pause.
